Concubine Qiong took An Zhining's hand and put it in her palm. This intimate look made An Zhining very uncomfortable. Who didn't know that Concubine Qiong had not looked at her at all.
Before An Zhining's secretive expression could show, he saw Gu Qishen coming from the side with a hint of displeasure on his face.
"what are you doing here!"
Hearing this, An Zhining froze on the spot and subconsciously stretched out his hand to support his stomach.
Even Concubine Qiong stood by An Zhining for the first time this time.
"Shen'er, what are you doing so loudly? What if you scare the baby in her belly?"
Unexpectedly, when Gu Qishen heard this, a look of disdain flashed on his face, "Child? Whose child it is?"
When she said this, An Zhining's face suddenly turned pale. She didn't expect that Gu Qishen felt like this in her heart.
However, Concubine Qiong on the side also frowned. How could she have forgotten this matter? After all, she had heard about what happened to An Zhining before.
Seeing the two people's expressions change, An Zhining became anxious, and she quickly knelt down in front of Concubine Qiong.
"My dear concubine, even if I have this idea, I don't have the courage. What's more, isn't it everyone who knows where I went, when I went, and what I did when I stay in the second prince's house? How could I be so stupid?"
After An Zhining finished her explanation, Concubine Qiong's face looked a little better.
"Okay, you go down first."
After the words fell, An Zhining could only bow and bow and retreat, no matter how unwilling she was.
After An Zhining's figure disappeared, Concubine Qiong looked to her side and asked, "Why is Shen'er so restless now?"
Hearing this, Gu Qishen actually didn't know why it turned out like this, but he just felt that An Zhining's current child was such a coincidence that he couldn't believe that the words coming out of her mouth were true.
"Shen'er, the crown prince's power is at its peak now. If we don't think of other ways, are you willing to always be subordinate to others?"
It must be said that Concubine Qiong's words had a great impact on Gu Qishen.
Seeing the relaxed expression on Gu Qishen's face, Concubine Qiong continued, "In the worst case, after the child is born, we will leave the mother and keep the child. After all, this child can only be yours!"
Gu Qishen understood what Concubine Qiong meant, and the expression on his face softened a bit, and then he leaned towards Concubine Qiong and backed away.
After leaving Concubine Qiong's place, Gu Qishen caught up with An Zhining.
Seeing her cautious look, Gu Qishen felt more and more that there was something wrong with the child in her belly, but he finally gritted his teeth and swallowed the whole matter.
Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, An Zhining raised her head unconsciously, and after seeing Gu Qishen, a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, "I have met the second prince."
Seeing the man in front of her who was groveling to her, Gu Qishen felt a little better.
"Now that you are pregnant, you don't have to bow so often. When the child is born, I will definitely compensate you well."
When these words fell into An Zhining's ears, she became more aware of the importance of this child in Gu Qishen's heart. A smile appeared on her face, and she smiled at Gu Qishen with a shy look.
"Please rest assured, Second Prince, I will definitely take good care of the child in my belly."
After the words fell, Gu Qishen nodded with satisfaction and personally sent her back to the yard, then turned around and left with peace of mind.
Looking at Gu Qishen's back, the smile on An Zhining's face disappeared. She put her hand on her stomach and whispered.
"My child, my child, you must come out of your mother's belly well and fight for her."
For An Zhining, if anything happens to the child this time, there is no need for Concubine Qiong to do anything to her. She will definitely kill herself.
Soon the news of An Zhining's pregnancy spread throughout the capital. Everyone felt that An Zhining was really lucky to be pregnant under such circumstances.
"Tell me, does the thing in her belly belong to the second prince?"
"Who knows, I heard that she hasn't left the house recently."
"Who said that? My cousin's neighbor's daughter saw her on the street with her own eyes that day."
People get together and discuss this kind of thing on weekdays, and they talk about it with relish.
In the palace, the queen looked at the figure in front of her and wanted to say something more, but in the end she swallowed her saliva and was unable to say anything.
Gu Cong seemed to notice that the queen was hesitant to speak, and took the initiative to rush forward to bless the queen.
"Mother, do you have anything to tell me?"
The queen did not expect that Gu Cong would say such words. After a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, she raised the corner of her mouth at Gu Cong.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, but seeing you alone now, my mother feels..."
Before the queen finished speaking, Gu Cong interrupted her.
"Didn't my mother already have a candidate for the Crown Princess?"
After the words fell, the queen lowered her head and sighed, "Do you have feelings for her?"
Gu Cong laughed out loud after hearing this, "If the son says he doesn't feel anything, can the queen choose again?"
The queen was startled, but soon Gu Cong's face returned to its previous expression, "I was just joking with my mother. I hope my mother won't take it seriously."
Even though the queen knew that it might be a lie now, she still chose to believe it.
The atmosphere between mother and son returned to its usual warmth, but Gu Cong didn't stay here long before he got up and said goodbye to the queen.
When Gu Cong's figure disappeared, the queen couldn't help but call the book boy next to Gu Cong.
"How is the prince doing recently?"
"To tell you the truth about the Queen, His Royal Highness is nothing unusual on weekdays."
Xiao Linzi leaned towards the queen, but the words he spoke made the queen frown unconsciously.
"If it was true, he wouldn't have said those words today."
But looking at Xiao Linzi's expression, the queen knew that she couldn't get anything out of his mouth, so she simply waved his hand to let him go.
Looking at the direction Gu Cong left, the Queen's face was a little worried, but she quickly suppressed the strangeness in her eyes. She would never allow anything beyond her control to happen.
After leaving the palace gate, Gu Cong did not go anywhere else. Instead, he walked straight to the pavilion nearby.
When Xiao Linzi rushed over from behind him, what he saw was this scene, which made him step forward quickly and put on the cloak in his hand.
"Your Highness, be careful of catching a cold."
Gu Cong, however, stared in front of him without moving his eyes. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly said something.
"Do you think, if the house flowers were removed from the eaves, would they turn into wild flowers?"
Xiao Linzi had no idea what he meant by this incomprehensible sentence.
